Services are planned for Modoc County Sheriff’s Deputy Jack L. Hopkins, who was killed in the line of duty earlier this month.

The Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday that services for Hopkins would be held at 1 p.m. Nov. 5 at the Siskiyou Golden Fairgrounds, 1712 Fairlane Road, in Yreka.

Hopkins, 31, was shot to death Oct. 19 when he responded to a family disturbance. The man suspected of fatally shooting Hopkins has been identified as Jack Lee Breiner, 47, of Alturas.

Breiner is accused of shooting Hopkins at a rural parcel roughly 8 miles south of Alturas. Hopkins, who had worked with the department since 2015, died at the scene.
